Great article thank you. As a long time Finnish sauna user this answered many of my open questions and cut through the ambiguity and pseudoscience. I was encouraged to read that my instinct of doing high heat and low humidity 5 to 6 times a week for 15 to 20 minutes was directly correct to realize the best benefits.
I have often wondered about the heat, shock proteins, and protein synthesis to encourage muscular repair from training.
One other thing I learned only recently was that I need to supplement with electrolytes post sauna as it had pushed me over a tipping point combined with training and my salt loss / sweat rate.
Looking forward to the next topic and thanks again
